Carlisle market report CA1 2
The CA1 2 (Carlisle) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Everything below comes from 7,559 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in CA1 2 (Carlisle) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 96 registered 2026 sales put the CA1 2 (Carlisle) median at £137,200, up 14% on five years earlier, with a mean of £152,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £1,540 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 7,559 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
CA1 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside CA1 (Carlisle). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What a home in CA1 2 sells for
The CA1 2 median stands at £137,200 for 2026, built from 96 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £152,700, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.
CA1 2 prices by floor area
A square metre of CA1 2 home has cost about £1,540 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so CA1 2 trades 52% below the country as a whole.

| 1995 | £36,200 | £78,693 | 183 |
In cash terms the typical CA1 2 home went from £36,200 in 1995 to £137,200 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 74%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2008, and today's median remains roughly 23% under it: a 2008 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CA1 2 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+34.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.8% | +4.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Over the last twelve months of data, 96 sales completed in CA1 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 348 sales a year before the financial crisis and 193 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around CA1 2
CA1 2 falls under Cumberland, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £666 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £496 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,071, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Cumberland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £137,200 median sold price, £666 a month is £7,992 a year, a gross yield of 5.8%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

The price of an extra bedroom in CA
Real sold prices by size across the CA area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £220,000 | £300,000 (+36%) | £430,000 (+43%) | £523,000 (+22%) |
| Semi-detached | £142,000 | £155,000 (+9%) | £205,000 (+32%) | £265,000 (+29%) | £357,500 (+35%) |
| Terraced | £105,000 | £115,000 (+10%) | £132,500 (+15%) | £184,000 (+39%) | £255,000 (+39%) |
| Flat | £92,000 | £124,950 (+36%) | £165,500 (+32%) | — | — |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
